Early Childhood Center Mission Statement
The Kehillat Israel Early Childhood Center (ECC) is an inclusive, developmental, early childhood education program grounded in Jewish values which respects the individuality of each child and seeks to instill a love and pride in being Jewish by providing meaningful experiences for children and their families in a safe, nurturing, stimulating and sacred environment.
Mission Goals - Foster a love of learning, creativity and wonder.
- Provide a variety of opportunities for each child to grow at his or her own pace, physically, cognitively, socially, spiritually and emotionally.
- Nurture positive moral and spiritual character development.
- Provide consistent opportunities for children to feel competent, successful and loved just being who they are.
- Instill a love of Israel and positive sense of belonging to the Jewish people.
- Encourage families to develop a meaningful and lasting connection with Kehillat Israel that promotes participation in synagogue life beyond the ECC.
- Ensure that the faculty and staff are knowledgeable and skilled in child development and Jewish education, and encourage participation in ongoing education and self-evaluation.
